Queen has sent a letter expressing her sympathies to a family battling to get their war hero son's name added to the Armed Forces Memorial after he took his own life.Nathan's father Derek, 70, said he was touched to receive the letter from Her Majesty, in which said she hoped the couple “find the strength to sustain you at this difficult time”. However the letter added that the Queen could not get involved in politics, reports The Mirror.Nathan Hunt, who served in Afghanistan and alongside the Queen's grandson Prince Harry in 2008, killed himself in January 2018, aged 38.During a six-month tour, Nathan cleared Taliban bombs and was praised for saving several comrades, including Harry.Nathan was as serving Royal Engineers warrant officer at the time of his death, but defence chiefs refused to add his name to the memorial after ruling his death was probably not linked to his 23 years of military service.Three other soldiers who took their own lives after serving in Afghanistan have been honoured on the Staffordshire memorial.

Ralf Rangnick made a number of eyebrow-raising changes ahead of the eagerly anticipated Premier League clash but his tinkering just about paid off.Harry Maguire opened the scoring at a sodden Elland Road with his first Red Devils goal in over a year to silence his doubters before Bruno Fernandes headed in a second on the stroke of half-time.Two Leeds goals in the space of a minute then flipped the game on its head.Rodrigo's mishit cross floated over a hapless David De Gea before Raphinha sparked bedlam at Elland Road tapping in from a drilled Dan James cross.United then reclaimed the lead thanks to Fred's smashed effort before Anthony Elanga sealed the vital three points for United late on.Daily Star Sport takes a look at three big calls that Rangnick got right and the one he got wrong in the crucial win...And three things he got right...Paul Pogba has made an impressive return from injury in recent weeks and looked a powerful presence in the first half against Leeds on Sunday.It was therefore a surprise to see the Frenchman pulled off after 67 minutes with Marcelo Bielsa's side having fought back from two goals down.Rangnick replaced him for Fred and it proved to be an inspired substitution.The Brazilian smashed home after receiving the ball from Sancho to regain United's lead a matter of moments after his entrance.While many questioned the decision to make the midfield change with the scores locked at 2-2, it proved to be the decisive moment.Anthony Elanga then added to Rangnick's substitute delight, grabbing the fourth late on with a slotted finish.Will Manchester United finish in the top four this season?

Because that looks like genuine annoyance?! And I hate conspiracy theories but he’s in charge for the League Cup Final!”Another said: “As a neutral, if a 92nd-minute equaliser being cancelled out by a 95th-minute winner doesn't get you excited, maybe you're not as neutral as you're supposed to be.”A third wrote: “I've always said refs should do post-match interviews to explain decisions.
